The Library has secured a 45 day free trial of
EBSCO’s new eBook Nursing Collection - see link on top right hand side of your screen. This provides an opportunity for Cope Foundation staff to try out
ebooks and to see what they are like. The collection can be accessed from computers on the Cope network.
The
collection has more than 300 titles providing content for
hospitals and medical institutions with nursing or allied health programs. I would very much
encourage as many people as possible to try out the collection even though you
may not be involved in nursing, or the content may not be entirely relevant.
Your
feedback and comments of your experience using ebooks will give some idea of
how useful or not they may be to us in the future– please e-mail library@cope-foundation, I would be grateful to hear
from you.
If
there is a demand from staff for eBooks the library can explore purchasing
individual titles across all disciplines. One of the main advantages of ebooks
is remote access which may appeal to people who find it inconvenient to visit
the Library.
